Quote:One flaw in your argument; the country was doing very well, with the deficit lowering every year between 2004 and 2007 when Bush was president and the Pubs controlled the House and Senate. The Dems took control of the House and Senate in 2007, and their first budget was the 2008 budget.


 

Obama's lowest deficit is still higher than the 2004 high, and the US was funding a major war effort during the Bush years, not to mention a huge GDP hit from the dot com bubble burst and the destruction of our country's main financial center.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the trillion dollar war effort under bush not booked?  

 

As for the economy under bush, it was a bubble that rightly popped.  The outsourcing of america and the housing corruption was already taking it's toll by 2006.  I remember it very clearly.  It all came to a head, rightly so, under Bush, since it was his policies that caused it.

 

It's just nice to see the economy gaining speed for American Workers.  I'm sure we're all happy that Americans are doing better under Obama.
